/visited Parliament House today, saw the very place that confrontation happened//no sign of the impression in Abbott's chair from when he shiat himself in fear///CSB

Yes, it was a beautifully scripted speech. I wonder how long they were sitting on it before they found an opportunity to use it.Also such as shame that anyone watching that video gets to miss out on it's context; Gillard disgustingly defending Mr Slipper at all costs.I guess feminist idealogy can beconveniently pushed aside when your stolen Prime Minister's position is at risk.

steerforth:stringbad: The full story is that that speech was done to defend a bigger sexist. The More You Know

No, no, it wasn't. The more you know.

The speech was ready before it was needed. The governments speaker retired to take one from the opposition to shore up numbers in a slim government majority. They lifted a questionable individual from the opposition to the second highest rank in the land for political gain at the cost of parliaments reputation. The speech was in defence of him being sacked by the parliaments vote. Refute any of this.

betelgeux:Repubs are so dumb! This is the line to paint an entire group of people by the words or actions of a lone southern high school girl, right?

No, we paint Republicans by the words of their membership, who state things like slavery being "a blessing in disguise," "legitimate rape" as opposed to fake rape (wtf?), and those who simultaneously hold Ayn Rand in the same esteem as Jesus (Ryan).

All the God and guns you could ever want, labors costs next to nothing, they worship military virtues, and if you're white, you're instantly at the pinnacle of the social hierarchy. Plus, if you live in the Deep South, the weather's pretty much the same.

I was seriously considering Canada if Palin had run in the Primary, made it through, and got elected. The main difference is that I knew what I was getting into, Canada is much closer than someplace like Australia, I apparently have dual citizenship, and I fell in love with Vancouver.

The difference is that I was making an informed decision, whereas all these Righties were just parroting a talkig point, with no clue as to what they were saying.

What made these morons choose Australia of all places anyway? Has anyone figured out who started that?
